A man is in bed with his wife when there is a rat-a-tat-tat
on the door. He rolls over and looks at
his clock, and it�s half-past three in the morning.
�I�m not getting out of bed at this
time,� he thinks, and rolls over. Then,
a louder knock follows. �Aren�t you
going to answer that?� says his
wife. So he drags himself out of bed,
and goes downstairs. He opens the door
and there is a man standing at the door.
It didn�t take the homeowner long to realize the man was drunk.
�Hi there,�
slurs the stranger. �Can you give me a
push�?
�No, get
lost, it�s half past three. I was in
bed,� says the man and slams the door.
He goes
back up to bed and tells his wife what happened and she says, �Dave, that
wasn�t very nice of you. Remember that
night we broke down in the pouring rain on the way to pick the kids up from the
baby-sitter and you had to knock on that man�s house to get us started
again? What would have happened if he�d
told us to get lost?�
�But the
guy was drunk,� says the husband.
�It doesn�t
matter,� says the wife. �He needs our
help and it would be right thing to do.�
So the husband gets out of the bed again, gets dressed, and
goes downstairs. He opens the door, and
not being able to see the stranger anywhere he shouts,
�Hey, do you still want a push??�
� and he hears a voice cry out, �Yeah, please.�
So, still
being unable to see the stranger he shouts:
�Where are you?�
And the
stranger replies: �I�m over here, on
your swing.�
